Though I never met your son ! I cry for him!! I too met the beast and pray every day I am clean! The epidemic has been around for so long and no one knows it better than a junky! I am a junky and today I will pray for the ones still out there please share your story with those struggling, it will heal your heart to know your son may have the power to save a life! My best friend OD and I feel she saved me ! She saved her son ! She lives on through us and your son will live on by you ! God bless you and your family! Take care of yourself he would want you to !

John and Cathy,
I feel deep empathy hearing of your tragic loss. We haven't seen each other in years, but whenever I would think of our memories of Standard Management back in the 90's, I would remember how so many of us could not wait to hear the most recent "Sammy story". We loved those stories! John you would just beam telling those stories...holding us all captive with Sammy's latest funny word or story! I can't recall many of my old friends children's name, but I always remembered Sammy's name.
I can't imagine the sharp edges of pain that you feel right now and I pray God's love helps you to find comfort somehow.
When you are able and you can picture Sammy at peace and no longer fighting his demon, you will begin to find your rhythm in life again. Think of Sammy now watching you and his love for you and show him how you will continue to live for him. Think of how he would want you to continue on!
You will always have those Sammy stories and so many vivid pictures of his life, and eventually those precious pieces of the past will take some of your pain away and you will remember how Sammy lived more that the tragedy of his death.
May God walk beside you both.

Miller Family, Although I do not know you and have never had the pleasure to meet your son, my heart aches for your great loss. I am a student at Columbus State and heard that another student passed away and it has been weighing heavily on my heart since I heard how. I lost my brother to heroin last November and it's just been awful since. I am so sorry your family is living this tragedy but just know you are not alone. Much love to your family and I pray that you can someday find peace in your heart. Rest Easy Sammy.
